"The ideal tyranny is that which is ignorantly self administered by its victims.
The most perfect slaves are, therefore, those which blissfully and unawaredly
enslave themselves." Dresden Jameson
Almost six years ago, I gave a speech in Sunnyvale, California. This is a short
excerpt from that speech. History does repeat itself, but we the people
have the power to stop the total annihilation of this country if there
is enough courage and fire in the belly of those who truly want to be
free from oppressive government. The alternative is hell.

"Ladies and gentlemen. These are indeed dangerous and serious times in which
we live and not just from mad-dog terrorists from third world countries
who hate us.
"We find ourselves in the same position as those who tried to save the Republic
of Rome. I would like to open with a quote from the book, Dear and
Glorious Physician
, The Story of St. Luke, by one of the most prolific,
magnificent writers of modern times, the late Taylor
Caldwell.
"Published in 1959, this book spent 60 weeks on the NY Times bestseller list with
more than 1,000,000 copies in print at the time.
"This is the character Diodorus speaking:
"In this very Senate, not many years ago, a senator was done to death because
he spoke the truth. Not by knife or sword or spear was he murdered,
and not by honest stones. No honorable hand struck him down, for there
was no honorable hand here. He spoke of Rome. He cried out that Rome
was no longer a republic, and that she had become a bloodthirsty empire,
ruled not by men of wisdom and not by law, but by Caesar and his legions,
and his generals and his rapacious freedmen and his palace politicians.
"The senator stood on this very podium and he wept for the Republic. He wept
that emperors were not elected by the people, but by infamous legions
and the idle and ravenous mobs who wished only to devour the fruits
of the granaries and the treasures, and to be amused by charlatans and
mountebanks and actors and singers and gladiators and pugilists -- at
public expense.
"For greed, that young senator cried to you, the mobs in this city supported
evil Caesars, who lusted only for power, because those Caesars promised
them loot from the public treasuries. Venal senators supported those
Caesars, for profit and power.
"The lying Caesars spoke to the mobs and told them that our country could
not defend itself against barbarians without allies, who must endlessly
be bought and cajoled and flattered. And the traitorous Caesars plotted
against their nation, mad with the lust to be gilded like gods by the
whole world, and to be acclaimed by millions of thieves and beggars
and wrestlers and freedmen and the cowardly, who never felt a pulse
of patriotism in their vultures hearts!
"Let me move your hearts!" he cried. "It is not yet too late!"
"The course of empire leads only to death. Senators, look at me! Listen with
your hearts, and not with your evil minds. Turn back to liberty, to
frugality, to morality to peace, to Rome. Think no longer of those who
appoint you, those whose bellies demand to be satisfied by the very
blood of Rome, the very flesh of Rome, the hard-earned gold of Rome.
Bow no longer to false Caesars, who, defying our very Constitution,
issue mandates against the welfare of Rome and place themselves above
the law which our fathers formulated, and for which they pledged their
lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.
"Rome was conceived in good faith and in justice, and in the worship of God,
and in the name of the manhood of man. Return our country to the rule
of law and strike down the rule by men.
"Restore the treasuries. Withdraw our legions from foreign lands which hate us,
and will destroy us at a moment's notice when it serves their interests.
Repeal the taxes which crush those who work hard and industriously.
"Tell your multitudes that they must work or they shall starve. Drive from
the Palatine itself the masses of toadies and self-seekers and thieves!
Drive from the Palatine the puny freedmen who say 'Yes, yes!' to Caesar,
and bow before him as though he were a god and not human flesh. Cleanse
this chamber of rascals and mountebanks and demagogues who declaim in
rounded phrases that the welfare of the people is close to their hearts,
but who really mean that they will do the will of the mob in exchange
for vile plaudits and power, and bribery!
"Romans! In the name of God, in the name of Cincinnatus, the Father of this Country,
in the name of heroism and peace and manliness and freedom and justice,
I beg of you to restore yourselves as the guardians of Rome, to cast
out the usurper of the powers which rightfully belong to you, to impeach
and to punish those who seized those powers in order to pervert the
laws of our fathers! Let your Roman hearts speak and your Roman spirits
cry out against the expedient and the corrupt, against the vainglorious
and the traitors, against Caesars who anoint themselves as gods and
hold court for the depraved and the ambitious and those who would dissipate
the strength of our people, our Constitution, and our traditions! If
you turn from your country, then she will die, and a thousand thousand
legions shall not save her and a thousand bloody Caesars will vainly
blow to the winds."
"Tiberius, the Caesar of the time, responded to this attack:
"I am a soldier. I am surrounded by sycophants and liars, and in that Diodorus
speaks truth. What is lavish and uncomprehending praise given out of
self-seeking and fear?
"What is flattery if lips that speak it only fawn, and in that fawning profit?
The dull ear is servant to a duller tongue. As a I solider I prefer
men of simple truth and without complexities who speak in honor and
of patriotism. But where are men today in Rome?
"Let me tell you this," said Tiberius, quietly. "Venal Caesars,
power-mad Caesars, never seize power, never destroy law and their country.
Their power is forced on them by an evil and despicable people, a selfish
and cowardly people. Where are the guardians of the people's liberty
then? You are silent, you are slaves in spirit, you are thieves and
cowards. But a people deserve their lawmakers.
"Rome!" he said. "Do I recognize this Rome of polyglot slaves, of Scythians,
Britons, Gauls, barbarians, Greeks, Assyrians, Egyptians, and the scum
of a whole world? Where are the Romans? They have lost their identity.
They have lost their tongues, their minds, their souls, their virility.
What have I to do with such a Rome? I am not an honorable man! I am
what my people have made me. I am their captive, not their Emperor.
Here is no escaping the evil of a debased people.
"I am here only to do the filthy will of a nation obstinately determined
to commit suicide. If I break the law and the Constitution in their
greedy behalf, they applaud me. If I have given up my hope of restoring
the Treasury, they praise me for having their welfare at heart. Their
welfare! Dogs and jackals!" End of quote.
The mobs
are on the move again today with rallies to support illegal aliens
smuggling themselves into our country and demanding an end to
ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) raids on employers for breaking
the law and a free ride to citizenship. They chant "equal rights
for all" under democracy. Of course, in their ignorance, these
rabble rousers have no idea America is NOT a democracy and that our
Founding Fathers hated democracy. The largest number of these illegal
aliens come from Mexico and using the worst of profanity, claim we stole
their land. Ignorance is rampant among these lawbreakers. Their
own government ceded over half of their territory the U.S. When
a Colorado
legislator called them illiterate peasants a little over a week
ago, another empty headed female serving in office went ballistic because
the truth burned her politically correct ears.
What the fabulous Taylor Caldwell wrote in her book, and she was a meticulous,
gifted writer, has all but overtaken our country. We are in the throes
of the total decline of this once great republic. Our elected public
officials have been bought and paid for by the mob. Elected officials
at all levels of government no longer care for their state constitutions
or the U.S. Constitution. They care only for power given to them by
voters. Most are cowards because they don't have the guts to stand up
to the powerful king makers behind the scenes or their brains are completely
rotted from the mental illness called political correctness. Make no
mistake: political correctness is a malignant cancer that invaded this
country and beat common sense to death.
Here we are six years after I made that speech. We are drowning in destructive,
unconstitutional "laws" while America's very livelihood is
being sucked out this country by greedy cowards and rank crooks serving
in Congress and one White House "winner" after another. The
people respond by demanding government "do something," instead
of doing everything humanly possible to throw their backsides out of
office and put true leaders with some brains in our state legislatures
and Congress. As the economy worsens, the cries for mother government
will drown a free nation.
This invasion of illegal aliens who have NO constitutional rights because
they are NOT citizens, have choked this country with their demands for
free health care, free education and welfare. Let's not forget the astronomical
cost of incarcerating the ones who continue to slaughter Americans on
our roads and highways, rob, steal and murder. Let's not forget the
growing number of illegal aliens who are sexual predators, raping and
killing America's children. Foreigners who come to this country shouting
their demands that we change our culture, our history and our laws to
suit their so-called religion. Can one not see what Taylor Caldwell
wrote oozing across this land while millions engage in trivial pursuits
like sports, violent video games and shopping?
"Democracy... while it lasts is more bloody than either aristocracy or monarchy. Remember,
democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself.
There is never a democracy that did not commit suicide." John Adams
"A democracy is a volcano which conceals the fiery materials of its own
destruction. These will produce an eruption and carry desolation in
their way.[1] "The known propensity of a democracy is to licentiousness
[excessive license] which the ambitious call, and ignorant believe to
be liberty.[2] Fisher Ames who authored House Language for the First
Amendment
While it pains me to say this, tens of millions of Americans have also taken
up the mob mentality. Under "our democracy" they continue
to demand mother government, with the sweat off your back, provide them
with health care, child care, jobs and more "entitlements."
In response to these demands from desperate Americans, these poltroons
in Congress will be only to happy to oblige. Remember Jameson's quote
above. Americans are being pitted against each other in this battle.
Those who live the creed of the brilliant, courageous men who birthed
this nation are self reliant, determined, masters of our own destiny.
We refuse to lay down our rights and freedoms in favor of the heavy
hand of government stealing the fruits of our labor to reward invaders,
corrupt politicians and fund foreign interests. We are up against those
who are accepting the communitarian (communist
morality) doctrine, walking into the trap created by Congress and
the state legislatures. Instead of holding them accountable, under mobocracy,
the legions continue to vote for corrupt scoundrels in public office
who break what doesn't need fixing and then steal from the public purse
under the guise of "fixing it."
The mobs of democracy are stomping our republic into the ground while cowardly,
degenerate politicians grovel for their votes. Democracy underground
or above ground is still the same thing: disaster and a bastardization
of our legal form of government. The results of pursuing such a path
is glaring us in the face from coast to coast, border to border. Trying
to shove democracy down the throat of foreign countries like Iraq is
nothing short of insanity.
The Founding Fathers, men like Patrick Henry and young Master Nathan Hale,
were called radicals and extremists because they disagreed with the
loyalists, subjects of the British Crown who wished to remain under
the control of a tyrant out of fear or because they benefited financially.
In Mel Gibson's movie, The Patriot, he had a great line in
the beginning of the movie, "Would you rather have one tyrant 3,000
miles away or 3,000 tyrants one mile away?"
I've been called a radical for the past 18 years because I refuse to get
on my knees and live my life under a tyrannical government. Patrick
Henry and those who spilled their blood and gave up all their material
possessions to birth this republic were called radicals. I am proud
to wear that label. Eighteen years ago I gave up the good times to share
what I've learned and what I'm still learning. I became an activist
instead of an observer. Where do you stand? I hope you'll catch my next
column, Do you have a Plan? Time is slipping by and Americans need to
grasp that things are not going to be the same for a long, long time.
Despite the bald faced lies coming out of Washington, the worst is yet
to come.
